Motorola MILESTONE XT720 now official, the first Xenon-ish Droid Comments

Lol, 07 Jun 2010Nokia will bow down their head against Motorola?? Lol what a joke.i totally agree man, samsung and nokia OWN the phone game, there's no way those companies will bow down to moto. And in case you guys dont feel like giving nokia credit for symbian 3, think of it this way, WAT other phone compnay comes out with thier own phone AND operating system (out of samsung, LG, SE)? android is good (i have an n900 and moto droid), but There's no way nokia is gonna let the new symbian be a piece of garbage, cause its thier own rep on the line. Also remember, the n8 IS NOT thier flagship. thier flagship phones are going to be worked off of maaemo/meego/moblin.
as far as this phone is concerned, moto has stepped it up like crazy and this phone was originally intended to to compete against the X10, not the n8 (since the n8 wasn't released at the time)...
so really its ur choice wat you want (although the specs of the n8 are far superior)

Anonymous, 07 Jun 2010What? google doesn't make the devices. think of it as windows. other companies make the device... moreandroid is mess cause the stupid layers the manufacturer puts on and the hardware plus those layers are just added garbage
why do you think the droidOS devices have high clockspeeds and massive ram ..........cause of the layers added and it's not a light OS at all
i stil prefer symbian they know what they are doing

Lol, 07 Jun 2010What do you mean by Nokia will charge arm and leg with N8. Dude I think you are from some othe... moremy bad i mean here in the usa. america is in bad place right now nokia's previous "flagshiip" device was almost $600 here and it didn't live up to it's expectations. i currently have an n81 8gb that cost $530 when it came out and the camera says "camrea feature not available" sent it back twice, but never fixed. nokia let me down let's see how this one goes.

This just shows the Big mistake Nokia have made announcing the N8 to early, an not everything ready yet to release the N8,Motorola have been trying to improve themselves an this mobile looks very good indeed,an if the camera is as good as the Z5,this will be a very good camera mobile indeed,like to price of this mobile as the N8 supposed to be £320 sim free,will this be about the same price

cyber-shot under dog, 07 Jun 2010yeah it could be the worthy rival of the n8, but n8 is equipped with 12 megapixel CMOS sensor.... moreS^3 is way better than S60 5th. Not as "sleek" as Android, but fully touch optimized and coded for hw set up like the N8. It has all the features and then some of Android, so in the end you would be getting the Motorola for some swipe effects. Bad idea.

I want to see what the GPU is in this thing. Not that Android knows how to use a GPU, but still, would like to know if this device is in the same league as the N8 in GPU power.

If not, then the N8 wins this by a landslide. If so, the N8 is a better device, but not by a landslide.

Paul, 07 Jun 2010Not sure if Symbian Has fixed the problem with keyboard, on Android & windows mobile &... moreI suggest you newer had symbian phone the way you are talking, most of this capabilities symbian had for ages, while now the droids and apples is digesting it from symbian the parts!

Lol, You Nokia boys, Nokia sucks, there are so many phones that are much much better than your beloved N8, which will be crap, as always it will have shitty symbian, which means it will have many problems and etc. Android 4 the win!

gam30toronto, 07 Jun 2010hey guys. I am trying to decide between this phone XT720 and Nokia N8. Which one should i get?... morewait till that mark the nokia N8 gets launched bcs the N8 is comming with symbian 3edition its a new os

gam30toronto, 07 Jun 2010hey guys. I am trying to decide between this phone XT720 and Nokia N8. Which one should i get?... morego for the motorola. i love nokia but android is a very good operating system and symbian^3 (os going to be on the n8) is not out yet and doesn't look like it has many improvements over s60v5(symbian 1) plus nokia will charge an arm and a leg for the n8. in my opinion the nexus one is the best phone to date period.

android is a mess right now since froyo is not able to be used on most devices cause of their hardware in a few months time this device will have problems upgrading aswell
that's why i still never jumped the mainstream/trend boat
symbi3n is optimised even more then it already was so i'm sticking with it
google needs to sort out that problem and chill out on the devices for a bit

gam30toronto, 07 Jun 2010hey guys. I am trying to decide between this phone XT720 and Nokia N8. Which one should i get?... moreNot sure if Symbian Has fixed the problem with keyboard, on Android & windows mobile & iphone as you type it suggests words just above the keyboard, but symbian s60 never did this, you just had to press the # key to go through the suggestions which I did not like (& slow), not sure if symbian^3 on the Nokia has been fixed (I hope so)
